Summary:
- Grad Night Committee formation meeting
- Wednesday January 28th at 7pm on zoom (see below for link)

Hello ECHS!
Parents of seniors or other community members are invited to join us as we form our committee and plan our strategy for a grad night event. We are looking for volunteers and fundraising coordination. This will be a short burst of effort that will send our graduating seniors off with fond memories of friends and their graduation.
What is Grad Night?
Grad Night is an event celebrating graduation that follows the formal graduation day. It is designed to be a safe once in a lifetime experience where seniors can come together in their accomplishment of this important milestone. The event usually centers around an overnight trip to a theme park that offers a package specifically for graduating seniors. Options include Disneyland, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Six Flags. Packages usually include late night hours dedicated to graduating seniors, a home base in the park for our EC Students, food, rides and performances.
Agenda:
- Research and Set an available venue
- Formalize a budget
- Review timelines for the following:
- Fundraising deadlines
- ticket sales
- Contract signing deadlines (bus, event, and student behavior)
- bus engagement
- administrative/district approvals.
This is all very doable but we need to get started now. Why are we fundraising? Fundraising will decrease expenses for everyone and allow us to provide scholarships to those in need to ensure accessibility to all who wish to participate.
See you Wednesday online!
